Graphene nanoplatelets are ultra-thin forms of graphene and consist of stacks of one or more graphene sheets in a platelet morphology. Graphene nanoplatelets are commonly prepared by epitaxial growth or chemical vapor deposition and are mainly produced by carbon nanotube manufacturers. The platelet morphology of graphene nanoplatelets provides lower thermal contact resistance at lower loading levels. The size of graphene nanoplatelets range between 10 nm to 50 nm. High aspect ratio of graphene nanoplatelets make it a mandatory material for various applications. Graphene nanoplatelets are effective in providing better barrier properties along with good electrical and thermal conducting properties.

Graphene nanoplatelets can be segmented on the basis of application as electrode materials, films and papers, coating, inks and dispersion, resistance heaters, advanced computers, electrode in batteries and capacitors, adhesives, sensors, aerospace, automobiles, medical devices, and sport equipment. Graphene nanoplatelets are also segmented in terms of the forms available as bulk powder, dispersions, and leaf. Bulk powder form is segmented as Grade M graphene nanoplatelets, Grade H graphene nanoplatelets, and Grade C graphene nanoplatelets. Dispersion forms of graphene nanoplatelets are segmented as aqueous, IPA, organic solvents, and resins.

The graphene nanoplatelets market is expected to witness robust growth in 2015 and the same trend is expected during the forecast period (2016-2024). Aligning with the trend, global manufacturers have started to raise their manufacturing capacity in the last few years. The main market drivers of graphene nanoplatelets is rising demand for graphene based composites and coating materials that can be used for making structural components in aircrafts.
